MAKS 2007

Recommended Posts

Tuesday was the opening day for this year's MAKS. Due to the fact Russian president Putin opened the salon, security measures were extremely tight and lots of us missed the first part of the show and had to watch it from the queue lines, including Ilyushin formation, Tupolev formation along with MiG-29K and OVT escort, Su-34 demo,...

Also the first day the lightning was very bad because of humid atmosphere and burning earth a few kilometers away from the airfield, which produced a brownish tint to the skies... Conditions that proved bad for the photographers... also due to the opening day, there was not a lot of flying display....

However here are some pics from the first day:

Strizhi and Russian Knights performed together - a magnificent view and excellent alltogether display...
